Objectives
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with some control techniques that includes in learning abilities, adaptation or are able to transfer some learning or experience of using a control device. Besides advanced optimization methods will be studied as the most intelligent control systems involve a way or another the use of optimization methods. Among them they will be studied: fuzzy control techniques (fuzzy), control techniques based on neural networks, and advanced optimization methods.

Learning activities and methodology
The activities carried out in the teaching of the subject are: -Lectures. Presentation of the main concepts. Discussion and clarification of doubts on concepts. It will work on transparencies that will be given to students to facilitate also learning a basic text or reference texts on the subject required. -Laboratories. The students (in teams of 2 or 3) are proposed some practical cases study, they must study and then make the simulation data and analysis. It will be used the knowledge of the topics covered in lectures and practical classes in the subject. It will make a previous study, will work in the laboratory and then a written report shall be submitted with the results and proposed solutions. Addendum COVID-19: Due to the situation caused by COVID-19, if necessary, both theory classes and practical exercises classes will be carried out online, the practices will be attempted in the laboratories, unless it is impossible, in which case they would also be adapted to do them. on line.
